1) Dehydration
2) Production of toxic chemicals from alcohol (e.g: acetaldehyde)
3) Depletion of the nutrients needed for brain function and to break down toxins (e.g glutathione)
Some believes that the clearer in color a drink, the less likely it will lead to hangover.
Natural Cures for Hangover
1) Stay Hydrated
Drinking large amount of water between drinks and prior to sleep helps. Leave a glass of water at the bedside to drink if you wake (urinate during the night when the need arises-urination washes out alcohol and toxins that causes hangover )
2) Sleep it off
If possible, let yourself sleep it off (while continuing to hydrate)
Recommended Supplements
Multi nutrient powder
Taking High dose B vitamins (B complex 50mg), NAC (N- Acetyl Cysteine) 250mg, Glutamine 1,000mg, glycine 750 mg, Vitamin C 500- 750 mg, and magnesium 150-200 mg daily when drinking may leave one less prone to hangovers. (All of these are present combined in a good multi nutrient powder which also serve as an excellent daily energy drink)
